My very first Always A Lady post had to do with leaving something to the imagination. It appears, I’m not the only one to subscribe to this belief. One of my favorite fashion reads, the JC Report, always asks a trend setter what they think is hot. This week they asked Guillaume Salmon, PR Wiz for Colette, and he goes on about the state of un-dress in Paris. Check it out!
Married to the M.O.B. teamed up with Colette to produce a co-branded Reebok Freestyle High. The shoe features a white leather upper with the MTTM Lips Logo printed all-over, a translucent pink outsole with the MTTM Lips Logo visible through the outsole, and a keychain.
Only 300 pairs of the shoe were produced, and more than two-thirds of the pairs have already been sold by Married to the M.O.B. and Colette. ALIFE is proud to be the only retailer in North America to be able to offer these shoes.
The remaining pairs of the Married to the M.O.B. x Colette x Reebok Freestyle High will be available in very limited quantities this weekend at ALIFE NYC, ALIFE LA and ALIFE Vancouver.

The ladies are rocking the boy-dominated boat of streetwear. Leah from MOB recently did an interview with BKRW where she talks about what it’s like to work with Colette and her new upcoming collection that will include denim, tops, outerwear and accessories. Take a look for yourself and see what Leah has to say . . .
Also just in - Mama was interviewed for Legend Magazine and talks about what it’s like to run a women’s line in such a male-dominated industry. Read the full interview here.
Jeremy Scott has released another collaborative Pliage bag with French bag company Longchamp. The bag is a very clever play on a “gold” card. I really like this one but I think I might like the one with the footprints all over it the best. You can check out his footprint bag here and his pink poodle bag here. Which do you like best?
You can purchase the gold card bag at Colette.

This is Claw Money’s answer to Supreme’s Kermit tee - I love it!! I’ve always loved Miss Piggy - such a woman . . . I mean piggy, ahead of her time. She knew what she wanted, and she went after it!

If you’re not in those cities it’s your lucky day because it’s also available on line here.
